I realize that the Orthodox and old order Latin pushers feel the need to express their superiority over us lowly Roman Rite Catholics, but I have never had the experience of having big screens, costums or anything other than the Novus Ordo at Masses that I attend. So perhaps this is something that is only present on the east coast. I have only gone to one parish where the singing was inconsistent, but it was not horrible.

Usually I catch myself before playing the pharisee, but alas not this morning! If I were Russian I’d go kneel on beans for a couple of hours, but I’m Greek so I’ll just do a few metanoias and call it good! :)
BTW, in our parish, until a few years ago, we called the sounds emanating from the choir loft “killing cats”. God however is merciful and my mother’s generation in the choir has gone on to the bosom of Abraham and has been replaced by a group of young folks (early 60s) whose voices are actually quite good!
